OK fine.

Question 21:
Has she ever appeared (in cartoon form, obv) in an episode of "The Simpsons"?
Okay, I think these lists are definitive. I checked these two lists:
Wikipedia List of The Simpsons Guests Stars Seasons 1-20
Wikipedia List of The Simpsons Guests Stars Seasons 21-present
The answer is No.

Guys, seven of the last eight guesses, (Katie McGrath, Kerry Condon, Salóme Gunnarsdóttir, Adele, Avril Lavigne, Joss Stone and Charlotte Church) were wasted on people that don't fit the criteria. I get that we're just playing a game, but come on now . . .
Which criterion does Charlotte Church not fulfil?
Looks to me like she fits, FYI.
Admittedly it's not as clear-cut as the other six blatantly criterion-slamming guesses (though we're up to seven again with Avril Lavigne redux), but I laid out my concerns here to crickets: viewtopic.php?p=325731&sid=63b37f29af3c ... 11#p325731

I threw a wish in the well
Don't ask me, I'll never tell
I looked to you as it fell
And now you're in my way
I trade my soul for a wish
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this
But now you're in my way

Not Ms. Jepsen

Ah, it looked like The Synch Report was just a podcast. But maybe it’s a show. I couldn’t really tell. Anyway, it’s not her.

I actually thought this game ended days ago when Conq launched into the detailed biography of Duffy and all her career highlights and life achievements. I assumed that a dedication towards our mystery celebrity.

Chill out, what ya yellin' for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if, you could only let it be, you will see
I like you the way you are
When we're driving in your car
And you're talking to me one on one, but you become
Somebody else
'Round everyone else
You're watching your back
Like you can't relax
You try to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life's like this, you
And you fall, and you crawl, and you break
And you take what you get, and you turn it into
Honesty and promise me I'm never gonna find you faking
No, no, no

Not Ms. Lavigne

Doesn’t count as a guess because somebody guessed her earlier as well.

Are we even on the right track?

I think this is the point where the gamemaster typically starts dropping clues to help kick the ball across the finish line.

I just hate to deny someone that hero moment when they put it all together without a big clue.

Okay, hint #3: You have yet to guess a person in this thread who was born in her country of birth.

Ooh, I like that hint. We've guessed persons from:
England, Wales, Ireland, Canada and Iceland

So either she's Scottish or she was born in the U.S. but is not currently a U.S. citizen. Or we're looking at obscure possibilities like Singapore.

There was a 'reason' that we ruled out Scotland. I do not recall what it was.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
